David J Edwards, Landscape Fantasy II, acrylic on canvas

David J Edwards was born in Essex, England in 1944, immigrated to Canada in 1957, and now lives near Kelowna, British Columbia. He says that early influences on his style included John Constable and J. M. W. Turner and can still be seen in his landscape works. I have not seen his work in person, but falling in love with what I see on the computer screen. Those colours! https://www.djedwards.com
